Cooking for a pack of hungry (hopefully not \u201changry\u201d ) children is very different from cooking a family meal. To make your life easy, we\u2019ve listed what we think makes great party food for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before choosing the menu\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you rush out and buy one of every item in the supermarket, take the time to understand how the food will fit in with the rest of the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Are you planning on having the meal before or after the activities?<\/li>
- At what time (give or take) will the food be? These factors will influence how hungry the kids will be.<\/li>
- How long do you think the meal will last? Generally, we feel that 30 minutes is enough time. Especially, if you\u2019re doing the presents afterwards!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Keep in mind that after lunch kids will have a boost of energy before crashing with exhaustion. This usually signals the end of the party or the end of energetic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nA few party food tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Serve food that the kids are familiar with. Keep it simple and recognisable! As we all know, kids can be very hesitant to try new dishes and parties aren\u2019t the ideal setting for culinary ‘experiments’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Use \u201cshatterproof\u201d table dinnerware (cardboard counts) and a disposable tablecloth. The other benefit of using disposable dinnerware is you can buy a set that matches the party theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Cut the food into small slices and make it as finger-friendly as possible. This is especially important if your young guests are only just starting to familiarise themselves with cutlery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Keep the food and drinks accessible. As adults, we often overlook how far children need to reach to grab things. Even the centre of the table can be a stretch. Make it easy for them to help themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Prepare the correct quantity of food. This can be tricky. The easiest rule of thumb is to multiply what your kids eat by the number of guests attending. Add a few more snacks on top of that if you think the parents will eat something when they pick up their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Be prepared. Hungry kids are impatient and busy parents are stressed… As no one wants a conflict, make sure everything is planned ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Don\u2019t go overboard with snacks. The little one might not be hungry for the main party food if you’ve already filled them up on snacks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Don\u2019t underestimate the importance of the dessert. It doesn\u2019t need to be over the top but it should feel special (an easy pudding would be to serve the birthday cake!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. To avoid waste, don\u2019t put all the drinks on the table. Instead, bring refills as the party goes. This will reduce the number of bottles that get opened but not finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. If you\u2019ve overestimated the appetites of the little ones, give the parents some of the leftovers. This will prevent the food from going stale and we think you’ll find most parents are happy to oblige!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nEasy, classic kids party foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"Kids](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084344\/pizza-party-300x225.png\")
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nPizza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is generally a success with kids. Ordering them is an option but it can be expensive. Instead, if you have an oven at home, simply buy ready-made pizzas in the supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If possible, look for fresh pizzas and not frozen ones! These cook faster. If you need to cook the pizzas in 2 or 3 goes it will reduce the waiting time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, you could have homemade pizzas. One of the hidden benefits is that the pizza can be extended to fill the whole baking tray if you need it too. A perfect compromise may be to buy ready-made bases and prepare the toppings yourself. Older kids love helping to top pizzas with their choice of ingredients so this can be an interesting party activity too! (See DIY party food below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Pigs](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084344\/pigs-in-a-blanket-300x200.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPigs in a blanket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These are really easy to make<\/a>. Just buy some puff pastry, roll around the sausages and put them in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to make your life even easier, don\u2019t by small sausages. Instead, buy regular sausages, roll them in pastry, and cut them into pieces before putting them in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t have the time to make these, you can opt for store-bought sausage rolls or even just cocktail sausages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just be careful with toothpicks if you have very young kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Chicken](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084343\/chicken-nuggets-300x266.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nChicken nuggets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another easy win for parties. You can get chicken nuggets or chicken strips in just about any supermarket (Just don’t forget the ketchup!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Party](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084343\/party-hedgehog-300x191.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nParty Hedgehog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Wrap an orange in some aluminium foil and then toothpick cherry tomatoes or anything, sweet or savoury, that you want (Note: making the hedgehog’s face is optional but fun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, be careful with the sticks if you have younger kids – what starts as fun could quickly turn into an impromptu sword fight, leading to tears!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Party](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084340\/party-sandwiches-300x225.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMini sandwiches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you choose to go down this route, make sure your butter is soft. Otherwise, it can be time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benefit of this option is that it allows you to easily prepare different options: vegetarian, vegan etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nHealthy party foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If there is one day a year when eating unhealthy food is tolerated, it\u2019s on your birthday. However, including a few healthy options is a nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Veggie](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084344\/veggie-sticks-300x199.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nVeggie Sticks and Dips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Kids love testing all the different combinations of veggies and dips. Prepare a few bowls with carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, and cherry tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slicing vegetable takes a good amount of time. Plan ahead; don\u2019t try and do this 10 minutes before the meal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the dips, keep it to \u201csoft\u201d tastes. Kids generally appreciate these more. A few popular choices are: hummus, ranch, Tzatziki (if the garlic isn\u2019t too strong).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re adding a bowl of guacamole, add a bowl of tortilla chips which are always a success with kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Salad](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084343\/salad-on-stick-300x200.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSalad on a stick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, sweet peppers\u2026 any vegetable that can hold on a stick will do. It’s an easy way to make salad fun to eat. You can also combine this idea with the previously mentioned \u201cParty Hedgehog\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Colourful](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084342\/smoothies-2253423_1920-300x169.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFruit juice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you want to cut down on the amount of sugar the kids will be drinking, serving fruit juice is a good option. These can either replace sodas entirely or just some of them. If the season if right, you can easily make your own at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"fruit](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084342\/fruit-salad-300x169.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFruit salad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To end the meal, a fruit salad is the perfect side dish for the traditional birthday cake. It will help all the youngsters reach their recommended 5 a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThemed party food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Going the extra mile to match the food to the party theme can feel truly magical for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We generally advise parents to keep the \u201ctraditional\u201d structure of a meal and then give it a twist to match the birthday theme. It’s easier and it reduced the chances of it going un-eaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to decoration, you can, of course, go all out, but here are three easy options to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Give the dishes a different and more \u201cexotic\u201d name to match the theme. For example, instead of a pizza it can be a fire truck wheel.<\/li>
- Change the shape of your dish to make it match the theme. For example, you can make a boat shape cake to please your young pirate crew.<\/li>
- Play with the colours and layouts. For example, you can make rainbow patterns with your vegetable\u2019s sticks.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
DIY party food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Get your guests to get their hands dirty (literally and figuratively) by getting them to make their own meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is great fun for kids but it requires careful planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our advice is to keep it simple, especially if you have younger kids. Plan it as a \u201cchoose your own toppings\u201d rather than an actual meal making activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Taco](\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084340\/taco-stand-1-300x177.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nParty tacos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Slice all the ingredients and lay them out on the table. The young ones can then decide what they want to add to their party tacos. Parental supervision advised if you wish to avoid a tidal wave mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Mini](\"https:\/\/images-gmi-pmc.edge-generalmills.com\/a383b6b3-3dcc-45cb-8af9-926525c5e8ff.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSource: pillsbury.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mini pizzas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These can be as fancy or as simple as you want. Just make sure you have the oven capacity to make this activity work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beforehand, prepare the dough and lay out the ingredients so that the kids only have to add on their toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If possible, find another cooking activity to keep the kids busy while the pizzas are cooking. Something as simple as preparing a fancy soft drink cocktail for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nAllergy-free food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to allergies, you can\u2019t plan for everything. However, you can make your parties safer by staying away from the most common allergens such as nuts and fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you aren\u2019t going to be supervising the meal, keep the \u201cambiguous\u201d dishes clearly labelled. This technique is good for kids and parents alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a certain age, kids know what they can and can\u2019t eat. It\u2019s nice to know this beforehand to plan a substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a small group, simply contact the other parents before the party and modify the menu accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, an easy alternative to a chocolate cake is a crumble. You can still have the candles and kids will devour it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, this type of planning isn\u2019t always possible. Do what you can and don\u2019t stress about it, the parents will be used to dealing with their own child’s allergies and will likely just appreciate the heads up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThat’s a wrap…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is definitely a food pun to be made with the title of this section but I can’t seem to find it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to take the hassle out of organising party food, consider booking a professional. Hiring caterers or cooking party organisers can not only save you time but also elevate the event with delicious and expertly prepared options. Whether you\u2019re looking for themed food, interactive cooking parties, or simply stress-free catering, there are plenty of options available.
